overpassforge 0.4.3

A library for generating OpenStreetMap's Overpass QL queries from Python objects.

Overpass Forge: a query builder for the Overpass query language

An object-oriented model to build Overpass queries in Python. Primarly intended to generate complex queries in Python.

Install

Requires Python 3.10 or higher. Install with:

pip install overpassforge

Example

from overpassforge import Areas, Nodes, Ways, build, beautify

# Find both cinema nodes and ways in Bonn, which
# are at most 100m away from bus stop nodes

bus_stops = Nodes(within=Areas(name="Bonn"), highway="bus_stop")
ways = Ways(around=(bus_stops, 100.0)).where(amenity="cinema")
nodes = Nodes(around=(bus_stops, 100.0)).where(amenity="cinema")
result = ways + nodes
result.out("meta")

query = build(result)
print(beautify(query))

Output:

area["name"="Bonn"]->.set_0;
node(area.set_0)["highway"="bus_stop"]->.set_1;
(
  way(around.set_1:100.0)["amenity"="cinema"];
  node(around.set_1:100.0)["amenity"="cinema"];
);
out meta;
